Burkina Faso: The valour of the FDS and VDP victoriously withstands hostile attacks

The recent attacks in Burkina Faso on February 25, 2024, have highlighted the unwavering commitment of the Defense and Security Forces (FDS) and the Volunteers for the Defense of the Homeland (VDP). Their courage and professionalism shone through in successfully repelling enemy assaults, preserving the lives of citizens and the nation’s integrity.

This triumph over obscurantism and violence reflects the indomitable resolve of the Burkinabe people to defend their principles, territory, and future.

It is crucial for the people of Burkina Faso to remain united and supportive in the face of these threats, providing unwavering support to the security forces in their vital mission of national protection.

In this decisive period, it is imperative for the Burkinabe population to intensify efforts to strengthen collective resilience and consolidate security measures throughout the country. The security of every citizen must remain a top priority.

However, the fight against terrorism cannot be won solely through military force. It also requires the active engagement of every Burkinabe across all sectors of society.

It is crucial for everyone to remain united, supportive, and vigilant to counter any attempts to weaken national cohesion and stability.

Now is the time for the people of Burkina Faso to reaffirm their unwavering commitment to the defense of the homeland and its values.

Together, they can overcome these challenges and build a Burkina Faso that is safe, prosperous, and resolutely oriented towards the future.
